SOUTH AUCKLAND COMMITTEE. MANAWATU OFFER DECLINED. At a meeting of the committee' of the South Auckland Football Association consideration was given to the offer by Manawatu to pay the rail fares of a South Auckland team to Palmerston North to play for the Brown Shield. After reading the opinions of the various clubs, the committee decided to advise Manawatu that their proposal could not be accepted this season. The committee suspended Percy Davis, of lluntly, until such time as he explains why he signed two forms for different clubs o n the same day. Transfer of G. W. Lee, from Claudelands Rovers to Hamilton Wanderers, and A. Smith from Claudeiands Rovers to North Shore, were approved. An explanation from Huntly why they were unable to fulfil a recent fixture with Glen Massey was accepted, as the latter club did not desire to press for the league points involved. Exception Taken.
